Birch Beech bowl

Stoneware fired bowl made from ceramic material sourced locally on Slievenamuck Hill. It is a rich dark terracotta colour. A birch basket, burnt off during the firing, provided a former for the soft clay. The echo of the now gone basket is evident in the undulations and marks left on the exterior of the ceramic bowl form. The interior of the bowl is filled with collected beech nut husks.
